Mismatched Earring

I have been wearing two different earrings for going on a month now - my fav pair broke and I didn't have super glue and was too busy to go buy a new pair so just went with two quite noticeably different earrings for several weeks.  Only one person said anything to me about this.  It made me wonder:

• do people not really look at each other or 
• is it just too intimidating to tell someone they don't quite look put together?

Super glue to the rescue and social experiment over.
